18 Short Green Nail Looks

In case you haven't heard, it's a Brat summer. The album art for Charli XCX's latest drop made green the color of the moment—so why not incorporate it into your next manicure? Whether you want to go full neon or take a subtler approach, we've got options aplenty.

Below, browse 18 short green nail looks to help you embrace your inner Brat.

Neon Accent

Neon green and black always make for a cool-girl color combination. This design features solid green nails, black-and-clear cow print, and white-on-black florals.

Soft and Shimmery

For a soft green look, opt for a greenish chrome powder atop a nude base. It creates the most ethereal effect.

Serpentine Swirls

Spice up a French mani with a few irregular tips and some green snake-like swirls.

Abstract Tips

For a bright and playful approach, pair green with pastels like yellow, orange, and lavender. This design features green and purple blobs with yellow and orange lines.

Abstract Squiggles

Negative-space manicures are always so chic—and if you keep the design to the upper portion of your nails, they grow out without that line of demarcation.

Dark and Moody

This dark and moody look features a mossy green nail accented by a sage green U at the base of the nail. The square tip serves as a gorgeous contrast to the rounded design.

Floral Accent

This Kelly green look is accented by black-and-white florals for a simple, yet eye-catching design.

Green Checkerboard

This pistachio hue pairs beautifully with navy and baby blue for a large-form checkerboard pattern.

Chunky Glitter

Black angled tips are the perfect base for a chunky green glitter. The snake adds some unexpected edge.

Green Tortoise

If Shego from Kim Possible wasn't a glove girly, I think she would have sported this moody manicure. It's a green take on the classic tortoiseshell look.

Iridescent Gradient

This stunning iridescent polish shifts from a minty green to a pearlescent pink, adding a sense of movement to the look.

Vibey Hearts

Use a mix of bright green polishes to create a retro heart design. Some hearts take up the entire nail, while others are reserved for the tip.

Wavy

This half-and-half look features a bright Kelly green toward the tip of the nail and a cool-toned beige at the base. It's giving radioactive.

Crocodile Tips

This sick design features a teal French tip topped with neon green airbrushed crocodile print. It offers a clean yet bold look.

Jade Snakes

Inspired by jade, this marbled mani features a blend of pistachio, forest green, and white. It's topped with black snake accents to add a bit of edge.

Smilies

Teeny tiny smiley faces are the perfect addition to this neon-green masterpiece. It blends yellow, green, and black for an impactful statement.
